In the diagram, PQ∥SR. Find the value of x.
Worked solution (try it first)
Angles at a point: the angle between the two lines at the bend is
360∘−246∘=114∘.
Draw a line through the bend parallel to
PQ.
By alternate angles, the upper line makes
x with it and the lower line makes
68∘ with it.
So
x+68∘=114∘, which gives
x=46, option B.
